lyrics
Don of the Hobo Mafia
The urchins of the street are my henchmen.
Panhandling is their crime.
I take pennies off the top of every cup
and live like Lord of the Flies.
I give them malt liquor, they give me respect.
Ain't met a hobo I ain't liked yet.
They were just a people looking for a king
who loves subjects, dirty or clean.
They're dirty, looking for a don.
They're dirty, looking for someone to steer them wrong.
And I oblige one sandwich at a time;
I oblige and now they're mine.
The urchins of the street are my henchmen.
Panhandling is their crime.
I take pennies off the top of every cup
and live like Lord of the Flies.
I give them malt liquor, they give me respect.
Ain't met a hobo I ain't liked yet.
They were just a people looking for a king
who loves subjects, dirty or clean.
They're dirty, looking for a don.
They're dirty, looking for someone to steer them wrong.
And I oblige one sandwich at a time;
I oblige and now they're mine.
